Gen 4 - Going to Ubuntu 18.04

We are planning to move students' and teachers' computers to Ubuntu 18.04
It has a nicer to use Desktop and is also the currently supported Ubuntu
It supports ROS Melodic (and ROS Melodic does not support the old Ubuntu)

Installation notes

Follow Ubuntu's own installation instructions to install a clean copy of Ubuntu
As Robotis is still on Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS Kinetic we have to amend their instructions a little
Our baseline is http://emanual.robotis.com/docs/en/platform/turtlebot3/pc_setup/

Commands

Core install of Melodic

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/robotis_tools/master/install_ros_melodic.sh && chmod 755 ./install_ros_melodic.sh && bash ./install_ros_melodic.sh

Further install of needed melodic packages

sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-joy ros-melodic-teleop-twist-joy ros-melodic-teleop-twist-keyboard ros-melodic-laser-proc ros-melodic-rgbd-launch ros-melodic-depthimage-to-laserscan ros-melodic-rosserial-arduino ros-melodic-rosserial-python ros-melodic-rosserial-server ros-melodic-rosserial-client ros-melodic-rosserial-msgs ros-melodic-amcl ros-melodic-map-server ros-melodic-move-base ros-melodic-urdf ros-melodic-xacro ros-melodic-compressed-image-transport ros-melodic-rqt-image-view ros-melodic-gmapping ros-melodic-navigation ros-melodic-interactive-markers ros-melodic-turtle-tf2 ros-melodic-tf2-tools ros-melodic-tf
